Frequently asked questions about conditioner
- What is the cheapest conditioner per ounce?
- The cheapest conditioner per ounce on Amazon is Suave, VO5, or Tresemme in large bottles (28-39 oz), often priced at $0.06-$0.12 per ounce. Mid-range brands like Pantene and Garnier run $0.15-$0.30 per ounce. Salon brands cost $1.00-$3.00+ per ounce.

- How much conditioner does the average person use per year?
- The average person uses 60-100 oz of conditioner per year (more than shampoo since people tend to use generous amounts). At $0.10/oz (drugstore) vs $2.00/oz (salon), that's $6-$10 vs $120-$200 per year. The savings by choosing drugstore brands are dramatic.
